Lucy was such a great lady. We have so many great memories of her and Gil, at Christmas eve, watching them bowl, or eating out with them. Our hearts go out to Gil and her family during this difficult time. We loved her and will miss her dearly.

To Gil, Jaimey and the Shirley family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Lucy was always a pleasant lady and bowling fan. I will miss seeing her whenever we return to normal and we resume bowling again. May God's Blessings be with all of you.
